[00:10.94]Many, many years ago, when I was a little child
[00:15.46]Mama told me you should know our world is cruel and wild
[00:20.23]But to make your way through cold and heat
[00:24.30]Love is all that you need
[00:29.75]I believed her every word, more than anything I heard
[00:34.46]But I was too scared to lose my fun
[00:39.22]I began to cry a lot and she gave me apricots
[00:44.15]Kisses of the earth, fruits of the sun
[00:49.10][01:08.01][02:02.48][02:33.19][02:42.82]Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
[00:52.99][01:11.80][02:06.51][02:37.50][02:47.06]Given back to me from the motherland
[00:58.28][02:11.71]Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground
[01:04.72][02:18.43]I’ll just let it make its round
[01:19.17][02:54.93]Apricot stone
[01:25.59]Now I see the Northern stars shining brightly in the storm
[01:30.32]And I’ve got an avatar of my love to keep me warm
[01:35.05]Now I’m not afraid of violent winds
[01:39.04]They may blow – they can’t win
[01:44.50]May the winter stay away from my harvest night and day
[01:49.22]May God bless and keep my cherished fruit
[01:53.99]Grow my tree up to the sky, once I waved my home goodbye
[01:58.83]I just want to go back to my roots
